My daughter lived here two times, each time for 8 months. She made friends with other residents. She had several roommates (not all at once), and she keeps in contact with a couple of them. She was able to change roommates when she had an incompatible one. The staff were wonderful with her. They genuinely cared for her, set appropriate limits consistent with her behaviors, and spent much time with her (although it was never enough from her point of view). She received timely treatment plans, excellent life coaching, and constructive behavioral feedback. She benefited from the nurses' advice when she was worried about a symptom she was experiencing. Once, a nurse attended a doctor appointment with my daughter to advocate for her. My daughter did not care for the food at Andrew, but she didn't like my cooking, either. She prefers restaurant food, which can be chosen from a menu at meal time. I was never concerned that my daughter was not being cared for. I talked with her every day and spent time with her frequently, so I knew what was going on. Lots of residents live there; that was the main thing my daughter complained about. She was "one of many" and wanted to be the center of attention. read more
